I found this property amazing for the value. I felt our hotel had all the amenities I needed - option for breakfast, swimming pool, A/C, bedsheets (this I found interesting as many hotels in Chiang Mai had \"no bedsheets provided\" in their description), options for massages and airport transport. The hot water was readily available and the A/C worked very well. The place was very clean. The people at reception including the owner were all very friendly and helpful. We ran into an issue of our hot water tank not heating up and the issue was fixed quickly. Being picked up from the airport was helpful and the owner gave us useful tips of nearby eating along the drive, along with knowing where the nearest 7-11 was. The hotel also offered tours with comparable pricing to other tour options and websites. I would have loved to be able to have extended my check out time as I had a late flight but was unable to. However it was still very helpful that I could leave as much of my luggage as I needed with them so I could still enjoy the day in Chiang Mai without worrying about my luggage.

The pool was pretty cold and the breakfast was small. But other than that this place was great. Bed was large and comfortable, location is near a lot of food and drink opportunities, located back off the main road just enough to be quiet, plenty of trees and plants add to the chilled out vibe.

The staff is amazing and my room was nice but there are serious issues that will prevent me from returning. First the listing contains a number of false statements. The rooms are far from soundproof and there is a popular night club right behind the hotel. There is no spa, restaurant or bar. They also do not have luggage storage. We had 10 hours between when we checked out and our flight and they wanted to store our luggage in a hallway right nest to the elevator. The biggest concern i have is the lack of security. The lighting is poor in all common areas. There are no deadbolts or any type of actually security grade locks. They also use the scans of peoples ID and passports as scratch paper. I received several receipts with someone's ID printed on the back.

Not worth it

My stay here was just ok. One of the first nights I stayed here, a cockroach crawled across my bed as I was getting ready to go to sleep. I told the staff the next day and they were apologetic. A few days later, I saw a pest control truck which leads me to believe this wasn't an isolated incident. Pool chairs are coming apart, the linens were often frayed, my duvet even had a hole in it that was conveniently tucked into the bed to conceal it. The cafe nearby had a better breakfast for a similar price. I will say, the grounds are very attractive. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Great reception staff - very bad and old hotel

The opium from online reviews had great promise. After visiting the opium and spending a week there, I felt it’s necessary to provide an accurate insight on my stay.

The reception staff are amazing, very good English, very helpful and helped us book tours and provide a lot information. It’s a decent area location wise, near night markets and local markets.

But that’s as far as the positives go. The hotel is very old. The rooms are dirty and even when cleaned it still feels dirty. The toilet and the room stinks permanently, whilst the shower water is never hot! The internet is completely bad, slow and doesn’t connect a lot of times. The cleaners are rude and never cleaned the room properly. The pool is also dirty and the breakfast options are small and tasteless. Lastly if you want an authentic experience in Chiang Mai, the hotel is full of tourist and not cultural vibe.

I came with my girlfriend based on the reviews online and to be honest, I would not go back ever. Bad experience. Felt dirty my whole time there and was delighted to leave.

I really wanted to like this place, but I just couldn't. Here were my issues:
-Location: poor to fair as it is not conveniently located to anything.
-Fitness center: the elliptical, the multi-weight machine, and treadmill were all out of order. The selection of weights was horrid. I came here in large part because of the fitness center and was tremendously disappointed.
-Room comfort: the mattress was so bad that I might have been better off sleeping on the floor. Yes, Thai beds are rather lacking, but this was akin to sleeping on a box spring.
-Cleanliness: there was black mold on my shower curtain and I could smell it my entire stay.

Nice hotel, great staff

The Opium hotel is a bit out of town central ( $7 taxi ) but that adds to the experience because walking around there are few tourists. A large market is within a ten minute walk plus numerous local eating places and a 7/11. We were in a cheaper room that was large, good air con, a microwave and jug. No plates or eating utensils. Breakfasts are good ($7) in the breakfast room. Staff are very helpful with good English and we got them to book everything for us with no extra cost. Nice swimming pool etc. we would stay again for sure

Value for money

My feedback takes into account the price for the accommodation. It was a phenomenally good rate for a 2 bedroom Apartment. I knew it was 3 stars when we booked, so expectations were where they should be. The room is great with all the necessary facilities. Air con, fridge, bath and shower.

The bed was made of concrete, I bought a pillow for 100 baht at the Big C and used it when I lay on my side, which got me through the 2 weeks ok. (Will never take my bed for granted again). Still - I do not regret staying here.

The staff are LOVELY, the location is out of the way, but grab app meant under 100 baht anywhere in the city.

Breakfast was ok for 2 out of 4 of us - I'm vegan and my youngest child is extremely fussy, so we just bought some staples and had breakfast in the room the 2 of us... which was actually relaxing anyway, no rushing in the morning. The other 2 enjoyed breakfast of sausage and egg and toast etc.

The pool was heavy with chemicals... I couldn't stay in because it hurt my skin and my son and husbands nipples actually scabbed over from being in there less than an hour. Ouch.

We went to tube trek another day so they got their swimming in some way.

I loved that the room was made up for us every day, water replaced also.

Despite the few imperfections, we would stay here again. It's quaint and friendly and we don't let little things get in the way of a good time.

Staff really do make a difference though, happy and positive attitude is infectious.

Lacks attention to detail.

Where do I begin. Kitchen had dirty dishes and utensils, no microwave and no pots and pans. Had to go ask for pans to cook with. They had two worn out pots to choose from and one pan was broken. The rooms were very spacious and bathrooms were relaxing, clean and modern. False advertising with no memory foam for beds as site stated. Housekeeping left our door wide open so when we returned we had two lizards and mosquitoes in the main living area. WiFi was spotty and was unavailable from midnight to 8 a.m. neighbors above us woke us up with rowdy running, yelling, laughing, loud music, and splashing. They slammed their sliding glass doors repeatedly. Attention to detail was lacking. A lock on one of the sliding glass doors was broken so we couldn’t lock it. Security booth looked sketchy with random people always hanging out with the guard. Receptionist insisted that we give him/her our passports so they could make copies. Told us it was for our safety in case someone robbed our room. Loved the spaciousness and bathrooms. Robes were a nice touch. But not enough to make us book here again. I’d give this place a 2 out of 5 only because the kids had a blast in the private pool and I enjoyed the shower and comfy oversized couch.

The bed here was like a plank! Most uncomfortable with bits sticking up in it. They do not have mattress toppers but did put a couple of continental quilts on under the sheet. This did not make much difference. We stayed at this hotel for 3 weeks and our room was directly under construction going on directly above us. For the first week or so our hot water was intermittent. The staff are all really lovely and helpful.

Lovely tucked away property. Just a few suggestions:
1. Please replace pool towels as they are old, no absorption and do not dry.
2. Please replace bed pillows as many gu3sts have allergies for health and hygiene cleanliness from previous guests. Mattresses could definitely use a pillow top on top of mattress as very hard.
3. Lower chemicals in pool - being an every day swimmer I could not use.
4. This is a great place and just a few touches could make this a higher *STAR* Hotel.

Overall, Mum and I had such wonderful 17 days in this hotel and the last day we never wanted to leave. One of the managers even gave us a beautiful present, a hand made bag from Chiangmai, that made us cry with delight.

No For Me But Maybe For You!

Good Points: The staff are fantastic and go above and beyond to enhance your experience, the rooms very cleaned daily to a high standard - The internet was a good speed and reliable. Improvement Areas: The showers i had 3 in my room with only 1 having hot water but this was controlled by a hot water thermostat which made having a shower a military operation - There was no other hot water in the room besides the shower and for personal grooming and washing dishes etc you have to use the kettle and boil you water - No restaurant apart from a limited breakfast menu, now this could be ok for some people who are happy to cook but the kitchenette was limited and having to clean dishes in the shower or boiling water was annoying - There aren't many restaurants close by and when it rains options for food is only delivery which is a little pricey but the best available - The fitness area is small and no treadmill available - all in all not for me but maybe for you!

A little disappointed

This hotel is a little out of the city centre which makes it a l time consuming getting into the old city, but worse is the road that you walk down to go to the market or restaurants. It is quite unnerving, very busy with lots of scooters and cars and this is very intimidating. The rooms are generous in size and serviced well every day. The swimming pool is nice but we found it to be very noisey and on several occasions there were people in it till after 10, which would have been ok if they had been a little quieter, and this was worse when families were here with their children.

It's a bit overpriced for the room and hotel condition overall. Breakfast, lobby and swimming pool area are not so clean and require refurbishment. However, staffs are quite helpful. Location is not so convenient if don't drive.

Excellent value of money hotel with great service

We visited this superb family hotel during our month long trip to Thailand. This nice budget hotel (less than 1000 baht per night) had 3 star hotel like amenities - It had big rooms , nice big bathroom, and they also provided kettle, oven, fridge etc inside the rooms. They have a very clean pool with carpet flooring, very safe of children. They have a nice collection of books as well. Overall it was the best hotel for the price we paid during our entire trip. Kudos to Mr. Boom and his team for their excellent service. It is going to be this apartment hotel whenever we visit Chiang Mai...Highly recommend this hotel to all.

Outstanding service

I always try to read as much reviews I can before i book a hotel and definitely all the great reviews of the opium were rights. There is no better experience to arrives at the airport and to be greeted with sign waiting for sure at the arrivals area. It was so nice to see a person waiting for you. Shuttle driver welcomed us and took us to the hotel right away with a great attitude. When we arrived the manager came to welcome us and explaining briefly the lobby areas and amenities. While the checking was done some took tha bags already to our rooom and turned on the AC because it's with the rzoom key that it stay on. The whole experience was OUTSTANDING, it was worth it the little bit of extra money it cost us compare with other hotels around. My only recommendation for th hotel is for the to remodel the bathroom because they look a little old compare with the room and th rooftop is so beautiful but it look abandoned, I will paint it again and maybe like a rooftop bar or something because the view is beautiful. Other than this recommendation I will would say the hotel is great.

Amazing staff

The staff was just amazing. They were so helpful from airport pick up to anything you asked them to do. They will call places for you and give you places to go to. I really give 5 stars to their service. The room and facilities are OK for the price I paid. The gym is really not a gym. It is hard for me to describe it but you won't want to use it. I have been to Thailand many times and realize that they don't give you shower gel or shampoo or bring your own kit.

Awesome hotel with great staff and clean rooms!

This was a great hotel, it offers a very homey experience. No fault of the hotel or the local area, but be sure to bring copious amounts of mosquito repellent. To the Hotels credit, they offered us free mosquito repellent upon arrival at the front desk, but wasn't nearly enough for our whole family through the evening and following day. The breakfast was awesome, the room was very clean and spacious, and The staff was phenomenal. Big thumbs up to this hotel

We initially were given the room on the bottom floor by the pool. I checked the room and bed/sheets etc (I thing I always do) and found that the bed sheets didn't look like they were changed. There were stains and hair on the sheets and it looked like someone just sprayed the sheets with some fragrance. I politely requested a room change and they said there was one available room on the 3rd floor. When we checked that room it was so much nicer and the sheets were crisp and clean! I'm not sure what happened with the first room, maybe housekeeping was in a hurry??? Other than that our stay at the Opium was great! Staff were nice and attentive... always willing to help. The pool seemed popular although we didn't get a chance to use it.

Beautiful Quiet and friendly

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Opium for 2 weeks and wished we could have stayed longer. The staff went above and beyond to be friendly and helpful. They helped with Moped hire, the best trips to take and any other advice we needed. The hotel was quiet, clean and relaxing. It's out of the main tourist area which we loved and we frequently ate at all the little street food stalls in the area. We would 100% visit again if we go back to that area.

A very comfortable & quiet accomodation. Rooms are spacious & large. A little out of the main drag but transport is within reach & cheap.WIFI ok. Breakfast not a wide selection but decent. Staff are helpful especially \"Boom\" who has been absolutely great. Overall very decent & clean.

Everything u want except \n

Everything you want in a hotel except a bit far from the hot-spots. But if you think it's worth paying a couple of euro on tuc-tucs, then it hits the spot
